About this ebook
Performing a quest to save the world is much more difficult when the hero dies before he even begins.
On the day the epic journey is about to begin, the chosen hero, Harold, falls in an unfortunate accident. It's up to his two assistants Amy and Beatrice to carry him through the rest of the quest all while pretending he's still alive. Will they fool the citizens of the city of Queensguard? Will they still be able to defeat the Evil Wizard Galgathon awaiting in his tower? An epic quest lies ahead; even if it wasn't intended for the ones performing it!
A novella totalling approx. 22,000 words.
